Sorry for the noob question but does this require any other
configuration changes (ie. htaccess)? I've included this in my
index.html and it is still showing 404 errors in Chrome.

[Google Maps API v3] Re: how to access overlay argument in v3
The documentation
http://code.google.com/intl/en/apis/maps/documentation/javascript/events.html
for V3 says that only a single argument is sent to your event handler
(the only one I've actually researched is the click event, which as
the documentation says passes a mouseEvent, with a latLng property,
and nothing else).
If you want to handle click events on overlays separately (the first
argument in V2 is a GOverlay object, which you appear to refer to as
"section"), you can just attach a event handler directly to each
overlay.

Re: [Google Maps API v3] Bad requests on custom tile overlays
One advantage of using a tile server is you can add some security to your tile requests. In my experience, anything not protected will eventually be abused by someone or something. Adding a simple layer of security, such as a key code or even a simple algorithm like Google uses, will keep the unauthorized from abusing your bandwidth and intellectual property. Of course, anyone sufficiently motivated will figure out how to bypass any security measure but by doing at least a single level of security, you're indicating you don't want to be abused and that often is enough to keep the problem under control. -John Coryat -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps JavaScript API v3" group.

At one time many proxies wouldnt cache a request with a ? in it. But most now do, when they have the proper cache headers.

Thats what I do. In my experience its lighter weight than using a
custom handler (say php)
Use the rewrite engine to perform the redirect, rather than a
ErrorDocument, that has too much overhead.
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /img/transparent_1x1.png [L]

[Google Maps API v3] Re: Bad requests on custom tile overlays
Just a thought. Will a browser cache tiles served via a server-side script or not? Any idea? Martin. On Jul 29, 5:43 am, John Coryat wrote: > Martin's suggestion is the standard way of doing it.

[Google Maps API v3] Re: Problem implementing mapTypeIds
i never liked this behavior, best is you do a custom map type control... there should be a lot of easy to understand tutorials =) On 28 Jul., 23:31, William wrote: > On Jul 29, 2:07 am, dondmcg wrote: > > > I am trying to simply add > > TERRAIN to the controls of my map > >http://staging.nybg.org/science/geographic-area-programs.php > > > But no matter what I try I still only get the default roadmap and > > satellite. > > on your map, when you select the roadmap maptype, then "Terrain" is > available as a tickbox under the "Map". > > I think V3.3 is the only current version which still shows Terrain as > separate button. > > But I'd expect V3.3 to be retired soon, with the schedule for the next > release due early in August? > > ... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps JavaScript API v3" group.
